Jay Cutler completed 17-of-30 passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns for the
Bears (5-3), who were coming off a bye week and stopped a two-game skid.
Cutler also carried the ball five times for 39 yards.

Greg Olsen was on the receiving end of Cutler's other touchdown pass. Chester
Taylor carried the ball 10 times for 13 yards and a score for the victors.

"Coming off of the bye, we needed to get that fifth win and we were able to do
that," Bears head coach Lovie Smith said.

Ryan Fitzpatrick connected on 31-of-51 passes for 299 yards with a touchdown
and two interceptions for the Bills (0-8), who are off to their worst start
since dropping the first 11 contests of a 2-14 campaign in 1984.

"Just got to go back to work I guess," Fitzpatrick said. "We keep getting
opportunities and I don't know somehow we find a way to have it hurt more and
more. This one really hurts. I don't know really what else to say besides we
did some good things out there again and came up short again."

Fred Jackson and Corey McIntyre each recorded a rushing touchdown for Buffalo,
which was coming off a 13-10 overtime loss to Kansas City last Sunday and
another three-point overtime setback at Baltimore two weeks ago. Steve Johnson
caught 11 passes for 145 yards, while Roscoe Parrish hauled in seven passes
for 60 yards and a score.

Buffalo kicker Rian Lindell had an extra point blocked late in the third
quarter. Lindell had never missed an extra point before in his career, ending
a streak of 321 consecutive made extra points.

Trailing by five, 19-14, in the fourth quarter, Bears cornerback Tim Jennings
picked off Fitzpatrick. Jennings returned the ball 39 yards to the 23-yard
line of the Bills.

Olsen caught an 18-yard pass on 3rd-and-10 to put Chicago at the five-yard
line and Bennett capped the six-play drive with a two-yard TD catch. A
successful two-point conversion put the Bears in front by three, 22-19, with
6:41 to play.

Buffalo got to Chicago's 44-yard line on the ensuing series, but Fitzpatrick
threw an incomplete pass on fourth down.

After Chicago went three-and-out, the Bills got the ball back at their own
one-yard line with 1:04 to play. Chris Harris intercepted Fitzpatrick on the
third play to seal the victory for the Bears.

Following a slow start to the game, the Bears got things going late in the
first quarter. Chicago began a 14-play drive from its own 19. The big play of
the march came when Johnny Knox caught a 24-yard pass on 3rd-and-4 from the
Buffalo 45. The Bears faced a 3rd-and-12 following a false start penalty, but
the Bills were whistled for illegal use of the hands to give Buffalo a first
down. Olsen capped things with a four-yard TD catch with 12:06 left in
the half.

The Bears got to the 14-yard line on their next possession, but two false
start penalties made for a long third down. Cutler's incomplete pass brought
Robbie Gould onto the field for a 42-yard field goal attempt, which missed
wide right.

Buffalo responded with a touchdown to tie it. Faced with a 4th-and-2 from the
Chicago 38, David Nelson caught a 10-yard pass for a fresh set of downs.
Parrish capped the 11-play march with a 14-yard TD catch for a 7-7 contest
with 13 seconds left in the half.

The second half started with Jackson fumbling the football at the 40-yard
line of the Bears, who took advantage with a one-yard Taylor touchdown run.

Buffalo kept the back-and-forth battle going with a touchdown of its own.
Johnson's 45-yard catch-and-run highlighted the eight-play drive, which
Jackson ended with a four-yard TD run. However, Israel Idonije blocked
Lindell's extra point attempt to keep the Bears ahead by one, 14-13, with 2:59
remaining.

On the third play of the fourth quarter, Cutler was sacked and lost the
football. Spencer Johnson recovered the ball for the Bills near midfield and
Buffalo capitalized with a one-yard McIntyre TD run. A failed two-point
conversion had Buffalo ahead 19-14 with 10:24 left.
